I think this update is the best ever. In years, I haven’t pk’ed. But I've done a lot Pjing. Now that's just my style of RuneScape Gold play and I purchased claws specifically for this purpose. (Ok that's why it looked cool when it had the full dragon). I ended up selling them at the lowest cost.

If you want an item with a high bonus to str or some other benefit, you must be willing to risk it and possibly die. Pking is meant to be risky in any case. It's not intended to be a spec-and- run sport. That was the way I was playing. It's all about honor fights.

The most effective method to remain healthy is to purchase sharks. Dragon weapons will soon dominate the world. Be on the lookout for the speed at which they increase. The population will remain at around 76k. However you should look at the paucity of PJers currently in PvP Worlds. Everyone is gone. (The pures and the pjers remain, but the pkers are gone. They won't risk their most valuable items, but if they do it's easy to get involved and grab everything.

I think it's the best idea in my opinion. I can use the five runes in the bank for pking as well as the dragon scimitars, ddss's and a few other items I have. I will properly pk, as I won't get any damage from ags or d claws. If someone wants to use claws against me I will not let them die.

I hope that this update will be useful to you. Even if you can't use your god sword or ags and you feel like you've sunk your money into claws. It's a good idea to sell them the lowest price you can get now. But, just enjoy your whip. At 99 str + piiety, you can still get around 45, which is around a 2 hit kill for Buy RS3 Gold most people.
